Why second‑hand tools are better than new

Buying tools brand new can really set you back financially. Probably not exactly what you had in mind if you are doing DIY to save money… or if you’re waiting for clients to pay you for your trades’ work you did for them. Either way, that’s why it makes sense to buy second-hand tools from us at Cash Converters.
Rising tool prices
With the increasing conflict currently happening in the Middle East and the price of petrol set to skyrocket, this will have a domino effect on just about anything that you want to buy – including power tools ― from transporting local tool brands such as Makita to importing international tool favourites such as DeWalt and Ryobi. Whichever way you cut it, you’re going to have to pay more for the same thing if you buy it brand new. But if you opt for second-hand tools, you get exactly what you need for a fraction of the price of paying new.
Durability and reliability
Whether you’re a tradesman who uses power tools every day or someone who likes to do some DIY over the weekends, you need to be assured that your second-hand tools are durable and reliable. We inspect and test every pre-owned item that come into our stores and most of our items come with a 6-month warranty; if items are faulty, they can be repaired, replaced or refunded.
All your favourite brands
Our range of second-hand tools is extensive. You’ll find everything from hand tools (for measuring, plumbing, hanging and more) to power tools (drills, welders, jack hammers, metal cutters and pressure cleaners… even cordless batteries and chargers). There are also automotive items and general hardware for painting and electrical; protective wear; doors, handles and hinges; light fittings, tool boxes and so much more. If you are brand loyal, you’ll love Ryobi and Dewalt from overseas. If you prefer something local, we also stock Makita power tools ― but all three brands are known for their safe, easy-to-use products that are highly functional and durable. Best of all, you get everything for less from us, which means that you can buy more second-hand power tools… for the jobsite or that small DIY project at home.
